Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing faucets feature either a standalone sensor-activated water dispensing mode or a combination of sensor and manual dispensing modes. Faucets combining manual and sensor modes require the manual switch to be activated for the sensor mode to work. Furthermore, due to unfamiliarity with faucet use, accidental activation can easily lead to continuous water flow, preventing the water from being turned off properly and wasting water, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a faucet that allows water to flow by triggering the sensing component without opening the switch handle. At the same time, through the cooperation between the detection component and the solenoid valve, even if the faucet is accidentally touched, it can ensure that the water can be turned on and off smoothly. It is not only very convenient to use, but also highly practical, bringing good user experience and effectively saving water resources.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a faucet, the faucet comprising:

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the faucet further includes a first mixing outlet pipe and an inlet pipe, one side of the first mixing outlet pipe being connected to the first mixed water outlet, and one side of the inlet pipe being connected to the valve core;

[0015] The solenoid valve also forms a water outlet path. The inductive water outlet path and the manual water outlet path are both connected to the water outlet path. The other side of the first mixing water outlet pipe is connected to the inductive water outlet path, and the other side of the inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet path.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the sensing component includes a first sensor and a second sensor, which are spaced apart on the outer peripheral wall of the faucet body. The first sensor and the second sensor are electrically connected to the control component. The control component controls the solenoid valve to open based on the electrical signal of the first sensor, so that water flows from the faucet body within a first preset time period. The control component controls the solenoid valve to open based on the electrical signal of the second sensor, so that water flows from the faucet body within a second preset time period.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the faucet body has a water outlet end, the water outlet end is connected to the valve core, the water outlet end is located on one side of the switch handle, the first sensing element is located on one side of the water outlet end and is arranged opposite to the switch handle, and the second sensing element is located on the other side of the water outlet end.

[0036] This utility model proposes a faucet that allows water to flow by triggering a sensing component without opening the switch handle. Through the cooperation between the detection component and the solenoid valve, even if the faucet is accidentally touched, it can ensure that the water can be turned on and off smoothly. It is not only very convenient to use, but also highly practical, bringing good user experience and effectively saving water resources.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The specific structure of the faucet 100 proposed in this utility model will be described below in specific embodiments. In one embodiment of this utility model, the faucet 100 includes:

[0038] The faucet body 1 has a water outlet channel formed inside it;

[0039] Switch handle 2 is movably connected to one side of the faucet body 1. Switch handle 2 is used to manually control the water outlet channel to manually open and close the water.

[0040] The sensing component 3 is located on the other side of the faucet body 1 and is used to sense the user.

[0041] Solenoid valve 4 is located inside the faucet body 1. The solenoid valve 4 forms a manual water flow path 42 and a sensor water flow path 41 that are separated from each other. The manual water flow path 42 and the sensor water flow path 41 are respectively connected to the water outlet channel. The switch handle 2 is connected to the manual water flow path 42.

[0042] Control component 5, electrically connected to sensing component 3 and solenoid valve 4, controls solenoid valve 4 to open or close based on signal from sensing component 3 when the switch handle is not activated, thereby controlling the sensing of water flow in the water outlet channel; and

[0043] The detection element 6 is located inside the solenoid valve 4 and is electrically connected to the control element 5 to detect whether water flows through the manual water flow path 42.

[0044] When the switch handle is closed or not open, if the detection element 6 detects water flowing through the manual water flow path 42, the control element 5 closes the solenoid valve 4 according to the signal from the detection element 6.

[0045] As is known, the existing faucet includes a faucet body 1 and a switch handle 2. A water outlet channel is formed inside the faucet body 1, and the switch handle 2 is located on one side of the faucet body 1 and connected to the water outlet channel to control the manual water flow and manual water shut-off of the water outlet channel. Thus, by moving the switch handle 2, the water flow or water shut-off of the water outlet channel can be achieved.

[0046] In this embodiment, the faucet 100 also includes a control component 5, a sensing component 3, and a solenoid valve 4. The sensing component 3 is located on one side of the faucet body 1 and is spaced apart from the switch handle 2. The sensing component 3 is used to sense the user. The solenoid valve 4 is located inside the faucet body 1, and two spaced-apart manual water flow paths 42 and sensing water flow paths 41 are formed within the solenoid valve 4. The manual water flow path 42 and the sensing water flow path 41 are respectively connected to the water outlet channel, thus forming a dual-inlet water flow channel structure with two water inlets within the solenoid valve 4. The manual water flow path 42 is controlled to open and close by the switch handle 2, while the sensing water flow path 41 is controlled to open and close by the solenoid valve 4 and the control component 5, making water outlet control very convenient and easy to operate. It should be noted that the manual water flow path 42 and the sensing water flow path 41 are independent and parallel dual-inlet water flow channel structures. Therefore, when manually turning on the water, when the switch handle 2 is opened, water is discharged sequentially through the manual water flow path 42 and the water outlet channel of the solenoid valve 4. Simultaneously, the control component 5 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 4 and the sensing component 3. When the sensing component 3 senses human movement, the control component 5 controls the solenoid valve 4 to open or close based on the signal from the sensing component 3. When the solenoid valve 4 is opened, water can be discharged sequentially through the sensing water flow path 41 and the outlet channel of the solenoid valve 4, thereby controlling the sensing of water flow or the sensing of water shut-off in the outlet channel. Thus, the manual and sensing-based water flow of the faucet 100 are achieved through the manual handle, the sensing component 3, and the solenoid valve 4.

[0047] Specifically, to prevent accidental water discharge from the faucet body 1, the faucet 100 also includes a detection element 6. The detection element 6 is located inside the solenoid valve 4 and electrically connected to the control element 5 to detect whether water flows through the manual water flow path 42. When the switch handle is closed or not open, when the detection element 6 detects water flowing through the manual water flow path 42, the control element 5 closes the solenoid valve 4 according to the signal from the detection element 6. As a result, no water flows through the manual water flow path 42 and the sensing water flow path inside the solenoid valve 4, thus preventing water from flowing out of the outlet channel. It should be noted that this application has two accidental activation scenarios. One scenario occurs when the user manually turns on the switch handle 2 and accidentally touches the sensing component 3. In this case, water flows through both the sensing water flow path 41 and the manual water flow path 42. Even after the switch handle 2 is closed, water will still flow out of the sensing water flow path 41. The detection component 6 then detects the water flow in the sensing water flow path 41, causing the control component 5 to automatically control the solenoid valve 4 to close the sensing water flow path 41, thus completely shutting off the water supply. The other scenario occurs when the user senses the faucet body 1 being turned on through the sensing component and accidentally turns on the switch handle 2. In this case, water flows through both the sensing water flow path 41 and the manual water flow path 42. Even after the switch handle 2 is closed, water will still flow out of the sensing water flow path 41. In this case, the detection component 6 detects the water flow in the manual water flow path 42, causing the control component 5 to automatically control the solenoid valve 4 to close the manual water flow path 42, thus completely shutting off the water supply.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, the faucet 100 further includes a cold water inlet pipe 7 and a hot water inlet pipe 8;

[0049] The water outlet channel is equipped with a valve core, which has a cold water inlet, a hot water inlet, a first mixed water outlet, and a second mixed water outlet. The cold water inlet pipe 7 is connected to the cold water inlet, and the hot water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the hot water inlet. The first mixed water outlet is connected to the sensor water flow path 41, and the second mixed water outlet is connected to the manual water flow path 42. The valve core is used to adjust the temperature of the water outlet from the faucet body 1, thereby controlling the flow rate of cold and hot water in the water outlet channel and ensuring that the manual water flow path 42 and the sensor water flow path 41 work independently without interfering with each other.

[0050] In this embodiment, the faucet 100 further includes a cold water inlet pipe 7 and a hot water inlet pipe 8, and a valve core is provided in the water outlet channel. The valve core has a cold water inlet, a hot water inlet, a first mixed water outlet, and a second mixed water outlet. The cold water inlet pipe 7 is connected to the cold water inlet, and the hot water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the hot water inlet. Cold water enters the valve core from the cold water inlet pipe 7, and hot water enters the valve core from the hot water inlet pipe 8. The cold and hot water mix in the valve core and then flow out sequentially from the first and second mixed water outlets. Simultaneously, the first mixed water outlet is connected to the sensing water flow path 41, and the second mixed water outlet is connected to the manual water flow path 42, thereby allowing the mixed water flowing from the manual water flow path 42 and the sensing water flow path 41 to flow out from the faucet body 1 respectively. The switch handle 2 is used to control the opening and closing of the valve core so that the water from the manual water flow path 42 can accurately flow out from the faucet body 1.

[0051] It should be noted that the valve core is a mixing valve, but other types of valve bodies are also possible.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, the faucet 100 further includes a first mixing outlet pipe 9 and an inlet pipe 10, one side of the first mixing outlet pipe 9 being connected to a first mixing water outlet, and one side of the inlet pipe 10 being connected to a valve core.

[0053] The solenoid valve 4 also forms a water outlet path 43. The sensing water outlet path 41 and the manual water outlet path 42 are both connected to the water outlet path 43. The other side of the first mixing water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the sensing water outlet path 41, and the other side of the inlet pipe 10 is connected to the water outlet path 43. The control component 5 controls the sensing water outlet or sensing water shut-off of the sensing water outlet path 41 according to the signal of the sensing component 3, thereby realizing the automatic water outlet or water shut-off of the faucet body 1.

[0054] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the water outlet of the sensing water flow path 41, the faucet 100 also includes a first mixing water outlet pipe 9 and an inlet pipe 10. One side of the first mixing water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the first mixed water outlet of the valve core, and the other side of the first mixing water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the sensing water flow path 41 of the solenoid valve 4. Thus, the mixed water coming out of the valve core can enter the solenoid valve 4 through the first mixing water outlet pipe 9. Then, the control component 5 controls the sensing water flow path 41 to automatically release or automatically close the water according to the signal of the sensing component 3, so that the water in the sensing water flow path 41 can automatically release or automatically close the water.

[0055] Specifically, the solenoid valve 4 also forms a water outlet path 43. The sensing water outlet path 41 and the manual water outlet path 42 are both connected to the water outlet path 43. The water outlet path 43 is connected to the valve core through the water inlet pipe 10. So, the water flowing out from either the sensing water outlet path 41 or the manual water outlet path 42 will re-enter the valve core through the water outlet path 43 and the water inlet pipe 10, and then be discharged from the faucet body 1. This allows cold water and hot water to mix and then flow out from the valve core again, so that the water flowing out from the faucet body 1 is at a suitable temperature.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, the faucet 100 further includes a second mixing outlet pipe 11. One side of the second mixing outlet pipe 11 is connected to one side of the second mixing water outlet and is spaced apart from the first mixing outlet pipe 9. The other side of the second mixing outlet pipe 11 is connected to the manual water flow path 42, thereby enabling water to flow from the manual water flow path 42.

[0057] In this embodiment, to facilitate the water flow from the manual water flow path 42, the faucet 100 also includes a second mixing water outlet pipe 11. One side of the second mixing water outlet pipe 11 is connected to one side of the second mixing water outlet, so that the water mixed in the valve core flows through the second mixing water outlet to the second mixing water outlet pipe 11. The other side of the second mixing water outlet pipe 11 is connected to the manual water flow path 42 in the solenoid valve 4, so that the water that is mixed with hot and cold water in the valve core enters the manual water flow path 42 through the second mixing water outlet pipe 11. Since the manual water flow path 42 is connected to the water outlet path 43, the water flowing out of the second mixing water outlet pipe 11 re-enters the valve core through the water outlet path 43 and the water inlet pipe 10, and then is discharged from the faucet body 1.

[0058] It should be noted that the solenoid valve 4 is provided with a first water inlet 44, a second water inlet 45 and a water outlet 46. The first water inlet 44, the second water inlet 45 and the water outlet 46 are connected to the sensing water flow path 41, the manual water flow path 42 and the water outlet path 43 in sequence. The first mixing water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the first water inlet 44, the second mixing water outlet pipe 11 is connected to the second water inlet 45, and the water outlet 46 is connected to the water inlet pipe 10, thereby realizing the connection between the valve core and the solenoid valve 4.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, the detection element 6 is a Hall switch. The Hall switch is located in the manual water flow path 42 and electrically connected to the control element 5. The Hall switch is used to detect whether water flows through the manual water flow path 42. Water flow is sensed through the Hall switch so that in the event of accidental contact, the control element 5 controls the solenoid valve 4 to close, so that the control element 5 can accurately control the operation of the solenoid valve 4 to accurately realize the opening and closing of the water flow.

[0060] In this embodiment, the detection element 6 is a Hall effect switch, which is located within the manual water flow path 42 and electrically connected to the control element 5 to monitor in real time whether water flows through the manual water flow path 42. Therefore, regardless of whether it is a first or second type of accidental activation, the Hall effect switch can accurately detect whether water flows through the manual water flow path 42 and control the solenoid valve 4 to close via the control element 5, ensuring complete shut-off of the water supply.

[0061] It should be noted that the detection element 6 can also be other types of sensing components, as long as it can generate an electrical signal when water flows through the manual water flow path 42 or the sensing water flow path 41, and the control element 5 can close the solenoid valve 4 by the electrical signal. It is not limited to the specific implementation method disclosed in this embodiment.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the sensing component 3 includes a first sensing element 31 and a second sensing element 32. The first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 are spaced apart on the outer peripheral wall of the faucet body 1. The first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 are electrically connected to the control element 5. The control element 5 controls the solenoid valve 4 to open according to the electrical signal of the first sensing element 31, so that the faucet body 1 dispenses water within a first preset time period. The control element 5 controls the solenoid valve 4 to open according to the electrical signal of the second sensing element 32, so that the faucet body 1 dispenses water within a second preset time period. With the cooperation of the first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32, the faucet body 1 can be sensed to dispense water. The operation is simple and the water type is adjustable, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0063] In this embodiment, the sensing component 3 includes a first sensing element 31 and a second sensing element 32, which are spaced apart on the outer peripheral wall of the faucet body 1. Both the first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 can sense the user. Both the first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 are electrically connected to the control component 5. When the first sensing element 31 senses the user, the control component 5 controls the solenoid valve 4 to open based on the electrical signal from the first sensing element 31, thereby connecting the first mixing outlet pipe 9 and the sensing water flow path 41, and thus sensing the water flow. Water from flow path 41 flows out through the faucet body 1, allowing the faucet body 1 to dispense water within a first preset time. When the second sensor 32 senses the user, the control unit 5 controls the solenoid valve 4 to open based on the electrical signal from the second sensor 32, so that the first mixing water outlet pipe 9 and the sensing water flow path 41 are connected. As a result, water from the sensing water flow path 41 flows out through the faucet body 1, allowing the faucet body 1 to dispense water within a second preset time. This achieves two different water dispensing modes with the same sensing water flow path 41, satisfying the user's water usage needs in different scenarios.

[0064] Specifically, to facilitate the connection between the control element 5 and the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, a first control line connector 14 and a second control line connector 15 are also included. One end of the first control line connector 14 is electrically connected to the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, respectively, while one end of the second control line connector 15 is connected to the control element 5, and the other end of the first control line connector 14 is connected to the end of the second control line connector 15 away from the control element 5. Thus, the first sensor 31, the second sensor 32 and the control element 5 are electrically connected through the first control line connector 14 and the second control line connector 15.

[0065] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the faucet body 1 has a water outlet 1a connected to the valve core. The water outlet 1a is located on one side of the switch handle 2. The first sensor 31 is located on one side of the water outlet 1a and is positioned opposite to the switch handle 2. The second sensor 32 is located on the other side of the water outlet 1a. The first preset duration is longer than the second preset duration. By setting the position between the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, the user can sense the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32 respectively, and there will be no accidental contact between them. This allows the water outlet type of the faucet body 1 to be adjustable, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0066] In this embodiment, to avoid accidental activation of the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, the faucet body 1 has a water outlet 1a, which is connected to the valve core. It is understood that both the sensing water flow path 41 and the manual water flow path 42 within the solenoid valve 4 exit through the water outlet 1a. The first sensor 31 is located on one side of the water outlet 1a and is positioned opposite the handle switch, effectively preventing accidental activation of the first sensor 31 when the switch handle 2 is turned on. The second sensor 32 is located on the other side of the water outlet 1a. It should be noted that the first sensor 31 senses objects on the side of the water outlet 1a, while the second sensor 32 senses objects in front of the water outlet 1a, thus separating the trigger areas of the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32 to prevent accidental activation during use.

[0067] Meanwhile, the first preset duration is longer than the second preset duration. That is, the water outlet duration triggered by the first sensor 31 at the water outlet 1a is longer than the water outlet duration triggered by the second sensor 32. This means that the water outlet mode with the first preset duration at the water outlet 1a is a long water outlet mode, and the water outlet mode with the second preset duration at the water outlet 1a is a short water outlet mode. It should be noted that the long water outlet mode automatically dispenses water upon sensing an object once and automatically stops dispensing water upon sensing it again; the short water outlet mode automatically dispenses water when an object (such as a hand) is sensed and automatically stops dispensing water after the object leaves or when no object is sensed. Thus, by setting the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, two water outlet modes of the faucet body can be achieved to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0068] Please refer to this again. Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the second sensor 32 is disposed above the water outlet 1a in the water outlet direction parallel to the water outlet 1a, so as to prevent the water flowing out of the water outlet 1a from splashing onto the second sensor 32 and causing the second sensor 32 to malfunction.

[0069] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the normal use of the second sensor 32, the second sensor 32 is disposed above the water outlet 1a in the water outlet direction parallel to the water outlet 1a. Thus, when water is discharged from the water outlet 1a, water is less likely to splash onto the second sensor 32, ensuring the normal use of the second sensor 32 and effectively avoiding accidental activation of the second sensor 32.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 are both infrared sensing components or microwave sensing components. Of course, other sensing elements can also be used, as long as it is ensured that the first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 can accurately detect whether there is an object within a specific range. This application does not limit this.
